Oh I get it, I totally do. But of all the celebrities who are actually worthy of praise, I can't think of anyone else off the top of my head who deserves it more.
But I mean it's not like I worship Keanu, he's just cool.
I mean, it's what you'd expect from older gen X-ers, which isn't a bad thing. That one song sounds a lot like R.E.M., and the more popular tracks on the channel have a real post-punk vibe overall. The older stuff up there reminds me of... Tom Petty? Overall, easy listening rock.
Edit: I don't know what I expected. Freakin' Keanu is in the band. Of course it's wholesome.
It's for people who grew up in the 80s and 90s, but want to hear new songs.
I means, I still listen to and enjoy new music while being in my 40's, but the shit you loved in your teens just kind of gets hardwired into your soul. What I enjoyed back then was usually a bit heavier, though.
The first time I ever heard or saw Mastodon (the band), it was a live performance on Letterman that genuinely sucked balls. It put me off the band for about a year before I gave them a proper listen (they're now in my top 5 bands of all time). Anyway, on that first clip I saw on Letterman, I thought the bassist was Keanu Reeves and that this was another of his weird side projects. I remember thinking "stick to acting bro, this sucks".
I can sort of see the point of farming downvotes on Reddit because, as pointless as it is, you can at least see how many you’ve accumulated.
For you to do this here? I’m struggling to understand what you get out of this. Kind of weird man, so maybe you should think about what the point of all this is.

You can decide that only for yourself so give it a go. Personally, I would categorize it as inoffensive radio friendly alternative rock.

This is the type of music Joe Montegna was bitching about in Airheads. It's fine, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just so.... Bland?

Fucking awful performance. But tell me that's not Keanu's twin brother on bass, perhaps after a stint of sleeping on Oscar the Grouch's couch 👀
